As the internet meme says, "And nothing of value was lost."
Except sadly, the location of the body of Keith Bennett. Does anyone know of the rumor that Brady's advocate received from him, a letter stating the whereabouts of Keith Bennett's body? Was it ever confirmed to have existed?
I remember it well, bit of a strange one. At the time, Greater Manchester police appeared to have confirmed it as Brady's mental health advocate was arrested on suspicion of preventing lawful burial of a body. I can't remember her name atm, (Edit: Jackie Powell) but I know no charges were brought against her. If there was no proof the letter ever existed, I'm puzzled as to why the arrest in the first place.
Then there's the close confidante,
chancer and latterly Brady apologist of many years, Dr Alan Keightly. He's apparently Brady's designated next-of-kin and heir, who claimed Brady also told
him where Keith is buried. According to him, the police didn't take him seriously. Apparently he already has a publisher for his written manuscript (with Brady's 'blessing' :silenced
telling all, Brady's account of all, including an alleged further four victims. The book, of course, to be published after his friends' death. Good riddance to his friend.

Thinking of Keith tonight, never giving up hope he'll be found one day.
